He pursues murderers with a gut passion while thumbing his nose at his old partner-turned-nemesis, Lieutenant Pete Armando. Jim Tausworthe's latest writing achievements include three novels with aviation themes. Jim does a masterful job of developing the characters and plots in each of these stories.		Jim served in the U.S. Army Air Corps Fifth Air Force's 405^th "Green Dragon" Bomb Squadron. He was assigned to the North American B-25 and the Douglas A-26. He's had a lifelong love of flying, holding a commercial pilot certificate, flight instructor's certificate, and other FAA ratings. He lived near Galveston for many years and spent untold hours watching the city grow, walking its beaches, and studying its rich history. He and his wife, Millie, retired to their farm in the Ozarks where they still fly from their private airstrip.
